Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has officially launched the Ethiopia Electronic Single Window Project. The Project connects 16 regulatory agencies and enables traders to process all documentation relating to import and export through a single electronic submission. By creating a paperless environment, eliminating uncoordinated, multiple physical inspections, and repetitive document submissions, it will reduce clearance time from 44 days to 13 days and eventually to 3 days. The eSW will also improve transparency, reduce corruption by minimizing the opportunities for physical interaction.
